Characters: 
  • Haruhi Fujioka; She has a scholarship, even though she is a commoner. She cross-dresses because she has a debt to the Host Club, for breaking a 8 million yen vase. Also, she doesn't rely on others at all.
  • Tamaki Suou; A funny guy. He is the prince of the Host Club and calls himself 'Haruhi's dad', most of the time he is a complete idiot, but he does have his moments :D
  • Kyouya Ootori; A guy who only cares about money. He won't do anything that won't make any profit, or does he? He is considered the cool-type, although he doesn't entertain very much guests.
  • Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin; twins, they are very close to eachother, and were unapproachable when they were younger... Haruhi is the first person who can tell them apart. In the club the have a "forbidden brotherly love" act.
  • Mitsukuni Haninozuka (also called Honey); Honey is really adorable and little, but also a material arts champion, despite his looks. Mori-senpai is always by his side, helping him.
  • Takashi Morinozuka (also called Mori); Honey's protector, his family serves Honey's family for ages, and so does he. He is also a cool-type and doesn't say much.

Summary: When Haruhi searches for a place to study, she finds a music-room. She thinks it is unused, but in fact it's the club room of the host club. Wanting to get away from the members, she breaks a 8 million yen vase, and she has to pay back using her body. At first, she is the slave of the host club, but when the members see how handsome she is, she is made into a host. From then on all kinds of weird things happen, but she and her new friends overcome them all.
My view: A really fun experience, I've now seen the anime and most episodes of the drama (which is still airing) and can't get enough of it. Tamaki is the most fun for me, because he really is stupid most of the time. But he's also really cool when he is serious. Because all of them have problems, when they come up, it is a really good mix of comedy and solving the problems. When you see it, I'm sure you'll be cheerful afterwards :D
Rating: 8,5
Also: There is also a manga and a drama about this serie. The drama is still airing. It is announced that there will be a film in 2012, but I don't really know for sure...
